The Northern Inner City District Committee is proposed to grant 19 named officials the right to request police assistance for involuntary care of young people (LVU) or placing children in sheltered housing. This enables quicker decisions in acute situations. The decision is indefinite and applies personally to the designated officials.

Agenda items
The Norra innerstaden district council has developed an activity plan and budget for 2026, outlining how it will work towards the city council's goals for an equitable, green, and economically sustainable Stockholm. The plan includes specific budget adjustments, such as SEK 0.5 million for cloudburst reservoirs in Humlegården and SEK 2 million for safety measures at Sergels torg. Additionally, it addresses trade union demands, with some, like the provision of menstrual products in restrooms, being rejected on the grounds that they are not covered in the budget proposal.
A citizen suggested that the City of Stockholm offer courses for seniors on using digital tools like Bank-ID and apps, and on protecting against online fraud, arguing that courses are more accessible than home visits and can increase safety. The Norra innerstaden District Council responded that the administration already extensively supports seniors with digital usage through courses, lectures, drop-in sessions, and individual support at senior meeting points, via phone, and through home visits.
A citizen proposed creating a community center, youth club, or makerspace for older children in Norra Djurgårdsstaden, citing a need for social and creative outlets, a neighborhood gathering point, and a winter location for scouts. The administration has since strengthened cooperation with Bobergsskolan, launched mobile youth activities, and is exploring options for a permanent youth facility. Non-profit organizations, like the scouts, can rent space affordably at Folkkulturcentrum on Artemisgatan 19 in Hjorthagen.
The Norra innerstaden district council will address two citizen proposals. One aims to improve street lighting and winter maintenance on the staircase between Valhallavägen and Körsbärsvägen, enhancing safety and accessibility for residents, students, and seniors. The second suggests a service allowing elderly living alone to daily confirm they are alive without speaking to anyone, ensuring contact and a visit if they fail to check in, providing security for them and their pets.
The District Director reported that the Vasaträffen senior center was open daily over Christmas and New Year 2025/2026, which was highly appreciated by many visitors and demonstrated its important role in providing community and security. Additionally, two preschools are scheduled to move in spring 2026: Freja preschool will be temporarily relocated due to a pipe replacement, and the open preschool Vasastan will permanently move to Tre Liljor 7.
The Liberals questioned the municipality regarding the "cinema death" in Stockholm and what is being done to support threatened cinemas. The Culture Administration shares this concern and is closely monitoring the situation, supporting cinemas through dialogue, program funding, and development grants for renovations, including an enhanced grant for Bio Skandia in 2025 to help with increased rents and broadening their operations.
The City of Stockholm plans to replace the roof and install a new elevator at the Stora scenen in Kungsträdgården, as the current structure fails to meet modern safety and accessibility standards. This work, scheduled to begin in 2026, aims to ensure the stage remains a contemporary, safe, and universally accessible venue for all residents.
The Norra Innerstaden district council proposes allowing more members to make urgent decisions in acute cases involving vulnerable children and adults. This would enable the vice-chair and other selected members, in addition to the chair, to decide on immediate custodies under LVU and LVM, and placements of children in sheltered housing. The aim is to ensure prompt action can always be taken when urgent protective decisions are needed.
The Norra Innerstaden district council will appoint seven members and four alternates to the Social Delegation for 2026. This delegation is crucial for residents as it makes decisions in individual social service cases, such as those under the Social Services Act, LVU, and LSS, directly impacting support and services for children, youth, and people with disabilities in Norra Innerstaden.
